Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 834 Entering Qingyun 11

I also wanted to know if she would ask him.

So, are you going to sell your pipe dream?

Chao Xi was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. Since everyone wanted to know, and he himself was trying to find out, she might as well ask him.

Gibbon paused, realizing he had been too hasty.

I completely forgot that she's the kind of person who speaks her mind and doesn't care about anything else.

However, while he could fool others, he had no intention of fooling her.

"I do have a dream of wealth and glory, but I promised someone I wouldn't let it be revealed to the world, and besides, I only have half of it left..."

Only then did he realize that he originally intended to use the remaining Dream of the Yellow Millet to find the murderer who killed his master.

Unexpectedly, Chao Xi refined and sold the Life-Giving Elixir, which seemed to have disrupted his plans.

“I also won the Lihentian before, but I only used half of it.”

He hasn't fully recovered from his poison yet, and still needs the dream of wealth and power.

But in order to find his enemy, he can temporarily put it aside.

After hearing his words, Chao Xi had a guess as well, and extended his hand to him: "Let me take your pulse."

"You also know medicine?" After saying that, she remembered that she could refine life-saving pills, so how could she not know medicine?

Ji Bozai placed his hand in hers, and after taking his pulse, Chao Xi confirmed that there was still residual poison in his body.

"What other use do you have for keeping that half-fulfilled dream?"

"Yes, I was going to use it to lure out my enemy, but now that I have your Life-Saving Pill, I might have to find another way."

"I can help you find your enemies, and it will definitely be faster than if you find them yourself. I can also help you get revenge."

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch; she had conditions.

She didn't ask him what his enemies were or what their grudges were; she simply couldn't be bothered to know.

Upon hearing this, Ji Bozai asked, "What are your conditions?"

The profound heritage of Zhu Shui Ling Zhou is beyond my reach, not to mention that even the Polar Star Abyss cannot compare.

If she's willing to help, it's definitely faster than if I look it up myself.

But he didn't think she would help him without asking for anything in return.

Even though they had already had the most intimate contact.

Chao Xi curled her lips into a smile: "As for conditions, of course I have them."

Although I already knew, it was still amazing to hear her say it to me.

Gibbs still couldn't help but feel that their relationship seemed to be based solely on repaying a debt of gratitude and making a transaction, which was somewhat different from what he wanted.

What kind of person does he really want? Is she interested in him?

"My condition is that you marry into the Zhushui Lingzhou family."

In a patriarchal world, if a celestial being with a promising future were to marry into the family, some benefits would always be expected.

"What did you say?" Gibbs thought he had misheard.

“You heard me right. I’m not wrong. Recently, the major families have been urging me to get married and want to send the young talents of their families into my harem, but I don’t want to.”

These are just excuses; she doesn't care about those people at all.

"So I'm just your shield?"

The slight smugness that Gibbs had felt earlier suddenly subsided.

He felt a bit disgusted with himself; how could he be happy that she wanted him to marry into her family?

"I need a queen, and you need my help, which is perfect."

Ji Bozai wanted to be more assertive: "I can also investigate myself, it will just take more time."

"Do you think they'll be easy to deal with after they use the Life-Giving Pill and acquire spiritual veins?"

Chao Xi's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Ji Bozai speechless. Indeed, things were getting increasingly tricky.

Moreover, she played a role in this, and crucially, there's no reason to say that her refining of the Life-Giving Pill was wrong.

He now has to ask her for help and agree to her conditions.

"Okay, I agree, but how long will it take you to give me an answer? A month? Half a month, okay?"

Pushing her to make progress is a small way of putting her in a difficult position, and it shows that I've put up with something.

Chao Xi thought he was a bit arrogant, but she didn't expose him. It was an effort to save face.

I will give you an answer in three days.

"So soon? Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I have come to inquire whether a meal should be served at this time?" A maidservant entered.

Chao Xi saw that it was indeed mealtime, and usually the meal would be laid out directly.

The maid came to ask her today because she wanted to know whether or not to let Ji Bozai have a meal, so that they could prepare a meal for two.

"Set out the meal. I will dine with Immortal Lord Ji."

"Yes, this servant will go and have someone prepare it right away."

After Ji Bozai and the others left, he said, "I haven't agreed to have a meal with you yet."

"Oh, then you can go back."

"Well, since I'm already here, I'll just have my meal here before I go back."

Chao Xi smiled slightly: "Take the Yellow Millet Dream as soon as possible. I don't want to see you having an attack one of these days."

"Aren't you going to take care of Lord Xinling?"

He could just tell that the siblings had a good relationship.

She was willing to give away even the token that represented her identity so easily, which shows that she trusted that person a lot.

"Do you think you'd selflessly give up your pipe dream just because I ask?"

Chao Xi knew from his constantly probing attitude that he was someone who lacked love and security.

They probably rarely feel warmth, so they can't help but overthink and worry.

Ji Bozai lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile: "If you really want it, what reason do I have not to give it to you? Even if I promised not to let the Dream of the Yellow Millet be seen."

How could he refuse? He's already eating her food, using her things, and even warming her bed; the key is, he can't run away.

Chao Xi lifted his chin, making him look at her.

"What are you thinking? He wants to use the dream of saving people, so go and find a way. Apart from that night, I have never forced you, have I?"

Oh, no, that night wasn't exactly forced. You were willing afterwards, quite proactive, I..."

"Stop talking." Ji Bozai interrupted her, wondering why she was talking about these things in broad daylight.

"Let's have a meal," Chao Xi smiled and pulled the person to eat.

The next day, Chao Yuan learned that Ji Bozai was not with his sister, so he hurriedly went to Mingyue Palace to request an audience.

Chao Yuan was looking at the account book. Zhu Shui Ling Zhou also had many shops in other areas, and they earned quite a lot of spirit stones every month.

Upon hearing that Chao Yuan had come to see him, he immediately invited him in.

After Chao Yuan sat down and finished discussing the important matters, he revealed the purpose of his visit that day.

"Sister, could you please help me? Ask Ji Bozai if he has any extra Yellow Millet Dreams?"

Because Ji Bozai was with his sister, Mingyi (Mingxian) couldn't get close to him.

I didn't want to upset my sister, so I could only speak directly.

Chao Xi picked up the tea he had poured, took a sip, and looked at him for a while.

"Ji Bozai no longer has the dream of wealth and glory, but I can concoct the antidote for the Heaven of Separation."

The antidote doesn't need to be made, but that's how it is.

The first part of her sentence made Chao Yuan somewhat solemn, worried that Mingyi's spiritual veins would dry up and he would die.

The second half of her sentence excited him even more: "Is what my sister said true?"
